Four night here solo for work. Tiny rooms but very comfortable. Clean, quiet, comfortable bed, great shower and aircon. Great location with a light rail stop nearby, and Pyrmont bridge into the CBD. Aside from the small+ rooms, it otherwise ticked all the boxes with nothing to fault. Would stay again.
